Both parties should be able to terminate for a material breach that is not cured within a specified period (usually 30 days). It is also common to allow one party to terminate if the other party becomes bankrupt or insolvent. Termination for convenience is more problematic, and may not always be appropriate. If the customer can terminate for convenience, consider whether there should be a cancellation fee to compensate for the loss of the bargain or to at least cover out-of-pocket expenses, or whether the customer forfeits any pre-paid amounts. Finally, clarify what obligations apply on termination – for example, the customer should immediately pay for services performed up to termination for which the service provider has not been paid.
